My Father's Compass - Howard Goldenberg

‘Stories can do magical things. They can remind a grown-up person that there is a little child inside who waits and hungers for enchantment, longing to be set free.’ Howard Goldenberg uses his magical story-telling skills in My Father’s Compass to record and celebrate the long and fruitful life of a man with many roles: healing the sick, growing olives, sailing the seas, harvesting foreskins, serving synagogues and raising his brood of difficult children. Myer was a rare combination of dinkum Aussie and devout Jew. Through the pages of this beautifully written book, his son honours the deep faith and vitality of his father, while bringing to life the intimate family relationships across generations between intense fathers and sensitive sons. This memoir – poignant, entertaining and at times hilarious – will evoke tears and laughter, grief and joy. A book to be treasured!

‘Howard Goldenberg writes with verve and humour. He also writes with deep compassion. It is this unusual marriage of qualities which makes him a rare and valuable witness to our times.’ Martin Flanagan

‘Howard Goldenberg is a fine wordsmith and a wonderful storyteller. He explores his father's life with great compassion and honesty. His compass has served him well both as a doctor and a writer.’ Paul Jennings Available now.
